A great trip to find out about Belfast as there is so much to this city. The driver was so informative and also made it fun. It went through the old 'troubles' areas which was so interesting.

What a fantastic way to see beautiful Belfast and great way to visit the attractions. The tickets are really good value and we bought the 2 day ones. Our driver was called Catherine on day one and she was whitty and charming ad so knowledgible. She was like the oracle Catherine had her own script and highlighted so may things we would simply have missed.she took us from Titanic to City Hall. On day two we were hoping to do the full tour with Catherine but just missed het. The commentary was a recording which was still good but if you can get on Catherines bus do you wont regret it

Really enjoyed our tour with fantastic live commentary from Don. Very knowledgeable about the route and even treats you to a surprise on the tour! Credit to the company this guy.

Such good value and worth the ride to get around. The bus drivers are so friendly and gave advice on where to go if you ask. We had some great recommendations for bars from some drivers.

We had a wonderful trip on the bus. Used it to visit the Titanic Experience and then enjoyed the rest of the loop in one go. We had a great live tour guide called Don. Very entertaining and a wealth of knowledge. Would really recommend for history and seeing more of Belfast than you could by foot.

This was well worth doing. We took the tour to Crumlin Gaol, hopped off and then hopped back on to return to town which was useful. We did the tour a second time and had a slightly different commentary. Be prepared for lots of people getting on the bus at the Titanic stop

A great bus tour to get your bearings around Belfast with stops all around the city that you can explore across the 48hr ticket. Buses go regularly and the commentary is very good, although we couldn’t quite understand why the voice had an English accent when we are in Northern Ireland! Lol Would highly recommend as a start to your stay and to use to get to the main attractions at a good price. Thank you!

Great tour - just the right length, and convenient for going to and from the Titanic Experience. Not sure if it was just the time of the year, but the commentary was recorded and not done by the bus driver themselves, so occasionally it didn't feel timed quite right, but was still very good.
